At 2 pm January 13, 2005 the temperature dropped below zero at the Twin Cities Airport.
The forecast from the National Weather Service has the Twin Cities flirting with highs
staying near zero for the next couple of days. How long would a stretch of zero or below
weather be to make the top ten list? The mercury would have to stay at or below zero for
at least FOUR full calendar days to have a chance of making the list. The most modern
stretch of at or below zero temperatures to make the top ten list was in January 1994.
